CSKA Moscow president Yevgeny Giner's holidays are interrupting AC Milan's plans to sign Keisuke Honda.
The Rossoneri are keen to secure the Japan international from the Rusian club but Giner is currently away on vacation making it difficult to complete the deal.
"There is no chance for Honda to join immediately as the president of CSKA is on vacation," Milan CEO Adriano Galliani told the club's official website.
Milan have been in pursuit of Honda for most of the summer transfer window and are hoping to bring the playmaker to the San Siro prior to his CSKA contract expiring in December.
